Volcanoes & the Golden Circle - 4 days

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Iceland's iconic Golden Circle. Begin your adventure in Reykjavik, where you'll be picked up at 09:00. Your first stop is the historic Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the ancient Icelandic parliament was established. Marvel at the geological wonders as you stand between two continents. Next, witness the geothermal marvels at Geysir, where Strokkur erupts with mesmerizing regularity. Feel the power of nature at Gullfoss, a majestic waterfall cascading into a rugged canyon. Continue your scenic drive along the south coast, pausing at Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind the falls. Conclude your day in the charming village of Kirkjubaejarklaustur, where you might catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights if visiting in winter. Rest comfortably at a countryside hotel (or similar).

Begin your day with a hearty Icelandic breakfast before venturing towards the breathtaking Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Witness the ethereal beauty of icebergs drifting across the lagoon's icy-blue surface, and explore the nearby Diamond Beach, where these ice formations glisten against black sands. Continue to Skaftafell Nature Reserve, where a certified glacier guide will lead you on an exhilarating hike on Vatnajokull Glacier, Europe's largest. Equipped with crampons, delve into the icy depths of a natural ice cave, marveling at the sapphire-blue ice formations. Return to Kirkjubaejarklaustur for a restful night at your hotel (or similar).

After breakfast, journey along Iceland's stunning South Coast. If conditions allow, detour to the picturesque Fjadrargljufur Canyon. Continue past the vast Eldhraun Lava Field to the iconic Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where the Atlantic's waves crash against jet-black sands. Marvel at the basalt sea stacks and the legendary Reynisdrangar pillars. Visit the majestic Skogafoss Waterfall, where you can climb a path for panoramic views. With luck, catch a glimpse of the towering Eyjafjallajokull. Return to Reykjavik for an overnight stay at a city hotel (or similar).
